Date: None

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel called for global solidarity and cooperation, speaking at the virtual summit United against Covid-19, convened by the Non-Aligned Movement.

“It corresponds to the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries to lead the actions for the elimination of the unpayable external debt that our countries carry and for the lifting of coercive, unilateral measures, to which some of us are subjected, which together with the socioeconomic effects of the COVID-19 threaten the sustainable development of peoples, “said the president.

On the fight against the SARS-VOC 2 disease, Díaz-Canel urged governments to assume the responsibility of “combining wills and efforts to face this immense challenge” and pointed out that international cooperation and solidarity will be decisive in the face of the pandemic .

Cuba will not abandon its solidarity vocation, even though the United States government, for political reasons, continues to attack and hinder the international cooperation that our country offers, stressed the Head of State.

He denounced that with its policy of tightening the economic, commercial and financial blockade against the island, Washington puts at risk the access of tens of millions of people to health services.In this regard, he noted that 25 new brigades of Cuban health professionals joined the efforts of 23 countries to combat the pandemic in the last month. He noted that these brigades, belonging to the International Contingent of Doctors Specialized in Disaster Situations and Serious Epidemics Henry Reeve, joined those already serving in 59 States, many of them members of the Mnoal.

At the virtual meeting led by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, the country that holds the pro tempore presidency of Mnoal, Díaz-Canel denounced the April 30 terrorist attack against the island’s embassy in the United States.
